Opt+3 for me as well (Mac); Alt+0163 for Windows.

If I was going to do that much, I'd just copy-and-paste from the article. It's still terribly inconvenient.

I'd suggest using the common three letter abbreviations for currencies (as found here for example), it avoids confusion between the various currencies known as dollars and avoids problems with symbol unavailability. For £s that would be GBP.
